Why pay, perhaps, $35.95?!
And Don't forget the complimentary FREE Bonus DVD: How to Train Your Puppy of Dog.
Please remember that your new friend WANTS to please you, and to be your loyal companion.
So it is important that you are prepared to help him/her to do so.
The results will then be really rewarding! There is NO other animal like a dog.
So don't fail your new friend, . . . . . please!
Incidentally...
"Quick-moving" items will be found in auctions, but harder to find items, which may require several listings before sale, are at least as likely to appear in STORE listings, where listings cost the seller around 20% of the cost to list, and run for triple the time. Please feel free to view my store items, too!
To do so, go to 'View Seller's other items' in the panel at the top right of this listing.
I have several other dog manuals listed there.
Combined shipping for multiple purchases saves, also!
Can we tempt you further?!
a) DVD purchases: shipped FREE with this item!
That's right!
Naturally, you pay the shipping for this ONE item BUT, should you also wish to treat yourself to any DVDs from our shop or Buy It Now auctions, your shipping will not change. It doesn't matter where on our planet you live!
b) Combined Shipping for other items:
Free shipping cannot apply to heavier items, of course.
However, we are always pleased to combine shipping costs to assist you.
